Richard Nixon

Security-focused Python & DevOps Engineer | AI Pipeline Security · LLM Integration · Postgraduate Studies in Cybersecurity (Level 9 NFQ, ATU)

15+ years across critical infrastructure, public sector, and international tech. Currently at Logitech building Python backends that integrate LLMs into localisation pipelines across 30+ locales — with focus on secure API design, authentication hardening, and structured logging for anomaly detection.

Background includes SRE at the Brazilian Ministry of Justice (8K+ users, award-winning hybrid cloud project), Presidential Crisis Management Office (real-time intelligence data pipelines), and mission-critical infrastructure for FIFA World Cup 2014.

Pivoting toward DevSecOps and AI/LLM Security — exploring the intersection of production ops, Python engineering, and security.
